All over the world, for the next period of days, hearts and minds will be joined in anticipation of what has become known as 'The Shift.' We have spent decades making ourselves ready, whether we knew it or not. The alignment of our heart with the core of earth,the core of the sun and the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, right at the Winter Solstice is a rare (26,000 year rare) event.Whether you are a mystic, a scientist, a New Age student, an ancient sage or a conservative of one stripe or another, all feel something is happening. The mind may not acknowledge this noticing, but the feelings are stirred. Fear of disaster is an interpretation that has been made, but for those who have discovered ' the safety zone' - the deep peace that lives in our center when we calm down, there is no fear. Rather there is the vulnerability of opening to the unknown and feeling such gratitude for the huge joining that is occurring on this planet over these days. The sense of Unity is unlike anything that has happened in such numbers before. To me, it feels like we are all returning to Innocence together. I have no idea what to expect but what the wind is telling me (and it is blowing hard right now) is that this is a time of immense significance for Gaia, and for us as her children. The UNITY that is happening is the point as we each surrender to shifting in whatever way serves the Whole. The imaginal cells are in charge. There really is nothing for us to do, other than station ourselves in the middle of the tiny blue flame that burns ongoingly in the temple of our heart. All else will be added.
